RS4 or E55 get my vote... If you get the GT3 you will constantly be arguing with yourself over which one to drive... IMHO
Z06 will have you wanting for a better interior and since this is going to be your daily that should definetely come into play....
Not sure about GTR but that sounds like a interesting alternative if the fit and finish are good.

I should have been a little clearer; I'll be keeping my Toyota truck for my 'true' daily. This car would be an in-between car. When I want to drive something fast and fun, but don't need 800 rwhp.

I'm leaning towards a GT3, with the new M3 & GT-R as a close second. I'll have to see how the GT-R and M3 end up performing.

Great input guys. I appreciate it.

Buy something that will just get you by for a year or so, then pick up an M3 sedan when it comes out. As much as I dislike it's E92 counterpart, the E90 M will be awesome.

From your list, I'd go with the GT3, because you can .

RS4 or an E55 for me.

The E55 look stealthy and have such wonderful torque, the RS4 is terrific and also has all-wheel drive for crappy snow days. I love the others but you said
daily driver and I also factored in what is "somewhat affordable" The Audi S4 is also a wonderful stealthy little vehichle with a great motor.

Scott, The M3 would be my choice with your price range. It has the xtra seats when needed plus handles & looks the buisness! You already have a bad *** 996 ...Good Luck..tom

-I'll be keeping my Protomotive 996TT
-I do not need 4 seats
-I do not need AWD

Which one would you choose? Other recommendation(s)?

Thanks.
Geo Metro XSI is the only way to go baby! If you don't need 4 seats, I'm a Porsche-freak and say go for a GT3

Since it is an in between car, I would go with the E55, nice power and it is comfy enough for a night out with the wife.

Scott, my choice would be the 996 GT3 hands down. All you need is a decent aftermarket exhaust so it sounds good and Bob's your Aunty. My second choice would be the new M3 because eventually you'll put two pumps on it ;-)

Forget the Nissan.

For 12-24 months, why not lease an E55 ($995/mo) and apply the capital towards an investment property?

Tough choice, Scott. They all have big pros, with the Z06 having the longer list of cons.

I haven't voted yet but my options are the GT3, M3 and GTR.
